I took care to mention that x86 is not the only platform, and to what extent they're relevant. I also made sure to not specifically answer as if this is only for x86. I don't know why you're willingly misinterpreting what I said. It's quite frustrating, especially after I took care to not answer as if x86 were the only platform. I asked you why you're asking about specifics here in a querying conversational, when you can just search the internet and be given the specific answers immediately. Because you're asking me to reply again, I'll go ahead and answer your question for you: all of those platforms are the same as far as padding/alignment for char is concerned. But just to reiterate, I was careful to not require this kind of knowledge for my replies to make sense.
